about

It is in the spirit of peace that Reb Fountain shares an exquisitely poignant version of Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

As the year draws to a close and we reflect on the art of giving, Fountain’s version of Lennon & Yoko’s iconic Happy Xmas (War is Over) is a reminder for us to connect with our humanity and foster compassion and love for one another.

We encourage listeners to donate to a charity supporting peace & prosperity for all.

lyrics

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The road is so long (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now
